Entries for 'MotoIQ Staff'

Technosquare Dyno Day!by MotoIQ StaffTechnosquare Inc. held an open house and Dyno Day on Saturday 3/7/2009. The open house featured technical seminars and tuning sessions by the Technosquare staff. Notable industry personalities made appearances... Several examples of the still rare Nissan 370Z were present

We had known something was up at Nissan when we spotted 7/8 scale 350Z's with bulged hoods and flared fenders rolling around at night and when peering through the plastic slats in the chain link fence surrounding Nissan's Gardena California Headquarters—slats that were intended to block causal viewing, but didn't quite stop the observant curious from looking. We knew Nissan was probably up to testing a new Z car and our wish was to be able to take a peek at it.

Most web publications have not been able to get a good hard look at the Nissan 370Z, but recently we were lucky enough to give a pre-production six-speed manual 370Z with a sport aero and brake package from Nissan's test fleet a short test drive. In that short test ride we were quite impressed with the 370Z's refinement and capabilities. Frankly, we're amazed at what Nissan has done to the Z in this latest iteration despite being jaded, hard to impress car guys.

Obviously if you are here, you are either a Z-car fan or at least thinking of becoming one. You are probably at least interested in Nissans latest entry into the affordable sports car market, the Nissan 370Z. Read On!
